Selling in the luxury market requires more than data. It demands precision, expertise, and a team…read morewith the credibility and presence that commands respect at every stage of the process. We interviewed three realtors before making our decision. The data pointed us toward The Alice Chin Team, but what sealed it was a simpler question: who would I take into a boardroom or a high-stakes negotiation? The answer was Alice and Jim, without hesitation. Every step of the process was polished, seamless, and refreshingly honest. They brought professionalism and genuine warmth to what can be a stressful journey, and we had a lot of fun along the way. We achieved both our price and time goals, a result we are incredibly proud of, and one that came from the right preparation, the right positioning, and a team driven by excellence behind us. And then there's Jim. Jim is one of those rare people who makes every room better the moment he walks in. Charismatic, warm, and genuinely fun to be around, he's the kind of person you find yourself wanting to call just to talk. But don't let the warmth fool you. Jim is also one of the most honest professionals I've worked with. No spin, no games, just straight talk and a relentless commitment to doing right by his clients. He went above and beyond at every turn, anticipating needs before we even articulated them. If you are lucky enough to work with Jim, you will understand immediately why people who work with him once never go anywhere else. If you want a luxury experience to sell your luxury home, this is your team.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Our experience with Alice Chin was extremely disturbing. I encourage anyone who is considering…read moreusing her as their broker to take my review very seriously before moving forward with her. Throughout our transaction, we experienced inappropriate pressure and resistance regarding us using our choice of inspector and our decision to have our inspector support us during our final walkthrough to verify that mold was remediated properly. A buyer should be able to rely on their agent to protect their interests--not feel pressured or undermined during one of the most consequential parts of a home purchase. In general, anything we asked for, such as updates from the sellers about repairs, she framed as atypical and unreasonable. We felt very gaslit by her. What is even more unacceptable is her subsequent public discussion of our private transaction and personal disputes on her public podcast, presented entirely from her perspective and without important context. Having private client information discussed publicly without our consent was deeply disturbing and a serious breach of the confidentiality I expected from my broker. Given Illinois law's express requirements concerning the confidentiality of client information, I believe the disclosure may have violated applicable legal and professional obligations. In it she also decided to call my husband and I (who she earned considerable commission from) as "bad people" and "bad clients", along with sharing other disparaging characterizations of us. In her podcast she literally admits to greywalling us, mishandling our miscommunications, and being purposely unhelpful. I had held off on posting a Google review and just wanted to put the negative experience working with her behind me but discovering her podcast left me no other option but to post so that I could warn other prospective customers. This was not simply a terrible customer-service experience. It fundamentally undermined my privacy and interests during a process that is already incredibly stressful. Her unprofessionalism and lack of ethics is unbelievable. Alice - I'm sorry your feelings were hurt being called unprofessional and unethical (which you mentioned on your podcast), but actions speak louder than words and that's exactly what you are.

Tasha was amazing! She came to our house and sat down with us and told us that she was going to be…read moreable to get us our asking price. She told us it would sell within three days, and she was spot on! Actually, she got us more than our asking price. She had a lady come out and help stage the house and she has this app that makes it really easy to accept or decline showings, and the one thing she tried very hard to do for me (that I probably made impossible for her) was to help me to relax and let her take care of things. She really takes the pressure off selling a home, and if I know anyone that's going to sell a home, I will definitely recommend Tasha. She's not just a great realtor. She's become a great friend!

After meeting with 3 other agents for the potential sale of my condo, Megan was recommended to me…read morethrough a mutual friend. Her combination of knowledge and enthusiastic personality won me over in minutes and 2 years later, I can still say that working with her has been nothing short of perfection. It's important to me to feel that my agent has my best interests at heart first and foremost, and Megan has demonstrated that she understands this time and again. Through her well-supported advice, I ended up renting out my unit, a transition I was nervous about. Megan made this process completely painless with her consistent follow-up, availability and desire to find the right fit. This past year, when the lease was up for my first tenant, Megan handled everything efficiently and found me another dream tenant within days. Having someone I can trust to handle all of this from 600 miles away has been more than this self-admitted control freak could ever ask for. Working with Megan, and by extension the O'Keefe Cibula Group, is like working with family. Megan continues to have my business and my trust.

We would highly recommend Megan Cibula to anyone looking to buy or sell! She was a pleasure to work…read morewith and made the home buying experience as seamless as possible. As first time homebuyers, we didn't know what to expect, but Megan put us at ease because she established a sincere level of trust. She was knowledgable on both the market and our neighborhood, very responsive, and her positive, energetic personality made us feel comfortable throughout the entire process. There were many steps to the home buying process that we were unaware of and she patiently walked us through each step so that we were in the know. We truly appreciate Megan's hard work in helping us find and purchase our first home. This home was the perfect fit for us and hope to be here for many years, but if we move on, we will definitely be using Megan again!
